Do these sound like good tenants? First Rental.

[Matt Turner]

I have decided to go with a military family to move into my first rental property. Everything went good with the showing and also looks very good on paper.  I have ran the TansUnion Smart Move checks on them and i received resident scores between 710 and 730 for both. No criminal or eviction backgrounds on either. One has 4 credit card late fees back in 2013 but that is it. Are these resident scores pretty good?  Also talked to last landlord and never had any late payments and left the house in perfect condition. I'm not sure what a good resident score is going off of Smart move.

Definitely request landlord references from previous landlords. Use renterinc.com to request references instead of calling or faxing previous landlords.

The best thing about requesting references on this website rather then faxing or calling the previous landlord for references is that all the references that are submitted on the website get stored on the website and other (authorized) landlords will be able to view the references. Give it a try
